No. 41 Phone (540)675-3338 Cell towers still not ready By Kevin Seabrooke Rappahannock News Staff Writer Cell phone users in Rappahannock County who have noticed little or no change in their local reception are not imagining things, even though it’s past the announced mid-September deadline when most of the new cell towers were supposed to be in place. According to Sprint media relations managed Tom Matthews, “one tower is up and on.” Matthews said the tower at Eastham Slope off Ben Venue Road has been up and operational since Sept. 27, and that the Rose Hill Silo (on Route 211, near Massies Comer) was slated to be operational by Oct. 6. The Huntly Silo (on Route 522, north of Flint Hill) is scheduled to begin operation the week of Oct. 11. The Amissville towers, at Nicholson Slope and behind the Amissville Volunteer .Fire Department, are expected to be working by the end of October or early November. “These are in Verizon’s local service area,” Matthews said. “They’re PCS towers, but we have to wait to get the T-l connectivity from them.” See TOWERS, Page A10 Rappahannock News Start Photo'Kevm Seabrooke CELL TOWER: The Rose Hill Silo, off Route 211 near Massies Corner, is one of the six new Sprint cell phone towers in the county (a seventh awaits approval). This tower, which blends into the rural atmosphere, was scheduled to be operational Oct. 6. Speed bumps / for town? By Kevin Seabrooke Rappahannock News Staff Writer Supervisor Bryant Lee has made a request that YT)OT look into the possibility of speed bumps or rumble strips in the town of Washington. “We need something there to let people know to slow down,” Lee said at Monday’s Board of Supervisors’ meeting. Lee’s district includes the town. YT)OT representative David Cubbage said his office was aware of the situation in Washington and was looking at it routinely. ‘We’ve done several studies,” Cubbage said. “We know there are a lot of pedestrians in town and now there are carriage rides. We don’t want anything to happen.” Cubbage’s comments came during an afternoon session that was actually on another subject: the county’s See SUPERVISORS, Page A9 Clevenger’s Comer traffic: A possible future nightmare By Don Audette Special to the Rappahannock News In the future, certain back roads in Rappahannock and Fauquier counties could become escape routes for eastbound commuters, if development takes place at Clevenger’s Comer. Why get tied up in traffic all along the U.S. 29-211 corridor, when it’s easier to bail out and get to Interstate 66 by using Crest Hill Road to Marshall? This worst-case scenario looks at potential traffic along U.S. 211 going toward Warrenton if Centex Homes, other planned subdivisions, and existing vacant parcels—plus potential parcels already zoned within a two-mile radius of Clevenger’s Comer—were to all have houses come on line between 2006 and 2020. This is unlikely to happen, but other housing developments along Route 229, or even along Route 522 north of the Town of Culpeper, could make up any difference as commuters stream up Route 229 on their way Meetings & Notices • The Rappahannock County courthouse and other county ' offices will be closed Monday, Oct. 11 in observance of Columbus Day. • The Rappahannock National Bank will be closed Monday, Oct. 11 and will reopen with regular hours on Tuesday, Oct. 12. • All Department of Motor Vehicles customer service centers will be closed Monday, Oct. 11 in observance of Columbus Day.

Commuters’ choices Rappahannock County residents may avoid the U.S. 211 traffic by taking Route 522 to Flint Hill and then Crest Hill Road (Route 647) to Marshall. But commuters from the Amissville area might try South Poes Road, or Ben Venue Road and Grimslev Road, to reach Crest Hill Road and Marshall. Clevenger’s Comer commuters might use Leeds Manor Road (Route 688) to get to Marshall via Crest Hill Road to pick up 1-66. Another concern is the use of the Springs Road (Route 802) off Route 229 through northern Culpeper County and into Warrenton, as a way to avoid the inevitable bottlenecks on U.S. 211 at Broadview Avenue. The back roads of Rappahannock and Fauquier counties were not built for commuter traffic, and two of them in Rappahannock County are gravel— bomh Poes Road and Gnmsley Road. Although paved, Crest Hill Road in little girl makes big progress . Sidney Dodson benefits from overseas therapy By Briar S. Bogin Rappahannock News Staff Writer She doesn’t scratch her face anymore, and she can almost roll over by herself. For most five year olds, this isn’t news. But for Sidney Dodson, it’s a miracle. Sidney was diagnosed with cerebral palsy when she was just four months old. Her parents, Greg and Shelly Dodson of Flint Hill, knew at that moment they were going to have to work extra hard to make her life as normal as possible. “Sidney has been a fighter and a survivor her whole life,” said Shelly Dodson. “I want to give her every opportunity to have the best life possible.” And that’s just what they did during the family’s August trip to Mielno, Poland. The purpose of the 14-hour journey was to take Sidney to the Euromed Rehabilitation Center. Euromed’s mission is to help patients like Sidney achieve a most important goal—the ability to walk independently and to become more independent from their parents and guardians. Sidney spent three weeks there, and the results were remarkable. “After just three days, she learned to keep her hands down and not scratch her face anymore,” said Shelly. “If we had left right then, it would have all been worth it for just that one step forward.” But that wasn’t all. Using the “Adeli suit,” Sidney learned how it feels to roll over, push herself up, and sit up straight. The suit, adapted from a space suit developed for Russian astronauts, will help retrain Sidney’s brain to perform correct See SIDNEY, Page A10 both counties is similar in nature—up, down, and winding, with a one-lane bridge. Traffic controls Traffic lights will contribute to the slowdown in the flow of traffic along Route 211. Spokesmen from Centex Homes noted that three may eventually be needed to sort the mix of vehicles at Clevenger’s Comer. There would be the current one at the intersection of Route 211 and Route 229; a second one in 2013-2014, with increased traffic on the Spine Road, bisecting the Centex Homes develop ► See related Clevenger’s Corner story, Page A6. ment and with a realignment of Route 622; and possibly a third one in 20172018, at Old Bridge Road. There is a traffic light at U.S. 211 and Broadview Avenue in Warrenton that controls eastbound traffic on U.S. 211; however westbound traffic on Broadview is currently served by a single “yield” lane at the intersection, which is totally inadequate to See TRAFFIC, Page A10 Photo courtesy Shelly Dodson READY TO GO: Sidney Dodson, in her new wheelchair, was so excited to go to Poland for therapy this summer.

Lecture looks at Costa Rica By Paige S. Coombs Specml tu the Rappahannock News Headwaters kicks off its Global Spotlights lecture series on Wednesday, Oct. 13 at 7 p.m. in the Rappahannock County High School band room with an enlightening program, “The Culture and Natural Heritage of Costa Rica.” The series features a talk by Sarah Gannon, who recently moved to Rappahannock to work for the Piedmont Environmental Council. Gannon will discuss her experiences with gray-capped squirrel monkeys to include their history and why they have been dubbed “primates of peace,” their estimated current range, the results of her habitat assessment, and the likely implications for future conservation. Gannon first went to Costa Rica as an undergraduate to study Spanish and tropical ecology in 1998. It was on this trip that she was introduced to the gray-capped squirrel monkey. Small in stature, these animals are approximately the size of a large cat, and they live in the low-lying secondary forests of the Central-Pacific region of Costa Rica. Gannon returned to Costa Rica to continue her research of this monkey while pursuing her master’s degree in resource ecology at the Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke University. Costa Rica, a country approximately the same size as the state of West Virginia, is home to roughly four percent of the known species in the world. Although this small nation occupies only about 0.03 percent of the planet’s surface, it is considered to be one of 20 countries with the greatest biodiversity. Also discussing this fascinating country will be Gustavo Diaz, coordinator of Intern Programs for Sunnyside Farms and Juan Pinto, an intern at Sunnyside Farms, who will speak about the history, culture, and politics of Costa Rica. Refreshments will be served at 7 p.m. with the lecture beginning at 7:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. There are two remaining events in the Spotlight series, scheduled for November and March. Headwaters, the Rappahannock County Public Education Foundation, is working with Rappahannock County public schools to continue to bring international knowledge and expertise to county students and residents through this program which began in 2002.

Shenandoah National Park celebrates wilderness Shenandoah National Park will honor America’s wilderness heritage Oct. 16-17 during its 4th annual Wilderness Weekend. Celebrate wilderness and enjoy fall foliage by viewing Shenandoah’s wilderness from Skyline Drive, hiking a wilderness trail, joining a ranger pro gram, or stopping by a visitor center. Two significant events will take place at Byrd Visitor Center, milepost 51 on Skyline Drive. First, Shenandoah Trail crews and Potomac Appalachian Trail Club volunteers will conduct a traditional tool demonstration from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Visitors will have the opportunity to try their hand at using these tools and will gain insight into the important role trail maintenance plays in protecting wilderness for future generations. Secondly, Byrd Visitor Center will premier a new video entitled “American Val ues; American Wilderness,” narrated by Christopher Reeves. This 55-minute video will be shown at 12:30 and 3:30 p.m. each day. This year’s Wilderness Weekend commemorates the 40th anniversary of the Wilderness Act signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. This Act created the National Wilderness Preservation System. Today over 106 million acres of public land are protected as wilderness. Shenandoah National Park is an important part of the National Wilderness Preservation System. Forty percent of the park, almost 80,000 acres, is designated as wilderness and represents one of the largest wilderness areas in the Eastern United States. For more information on Wilderness Weekend events, contact Shenandoah National Park’s Education Office at 540999-3489. Adding color to your fall garden with pansies and violas By Kathleen Hennessy Special to the Rappahannock News The arrival of fall inevitably brings the challenges of maintaining a healthy and colorful garden. Now is the time for some strategic planting. Plants that have the ability to withstand low light conditions and chilly nights will reward your efforts with dazzling color throughout the cooler months. Here are two plants to try this fall. Majestic Giants Pansies When other plants begin to lose their luster, the pansy is there to save the day. Pansies thrive in cool fall temperatures. They’re known as a “cool season annual” and they can bloom from fall into spring. Majestic Giants are the number one selling pansy in North America. Constant genetic improvements make this garden favorite a great choice for fall planting. Majestic Giants are not daylight sensitive, meaning that they’ll bloom consistently on the short days of winter with low light conditions. Majestic Giants provide great color this fall, and in most cases, they’ll come back in the spring. The compact plants feature large blooms, and the new color options like the magisterial Deep Blue, or the warm pinks and yellows of Sherry, will surely liven up any flower box or garden border. “Majestic Giants have been a favorite flower for more than 35 years,” says David Jewell, Southern Area Manger, Sakata Seed America. “The extra large, long lasting blooms mean you’ll be able to enjoy your gardening efforts for an extended period of time.” Seminar on conservation easement tax credits The Piedmont Environmental Council is providing an educational seminar on the tax benefits of conservation easements for informational purposes on Friday, Nov. 5 at Lord Fairfax Community College (The Bam) in Warrenton. The seminar is for accountants, financial advisers, lawyers, easement donors interested in selling credits and individuals and entities interested in purchasing credits. Individuals should consult their financial and legal advisers for professional advice. Learn how to buy and sell the Virginia income tax credit available to landowners donating conservation easements. Speakers will present information on transactions that have closed to date, the importance of a good appraisal and the challenges and opportunities for structuring transactions. Hear the most up-to-date information on the credit from the Virginia Department of Taxation. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m., followed by a program from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Speakers are: Larry Durbin, Virginia Department of Taxation; Robert Dale, Yount, Hyde and Barbour, PC.; Taylor M. Cole, Conservation Partners, LLC; Brook Middleton, Virginia Easement Exchange, LLC; Phil Hocker, Virginia Conservation Credit Pool, LLC; John Campagna, GreenFuture FA; and Catherine Scott, Piedmont Environmental Council. There is a $25 registration fee. The seminar provides 3.0 Accountant Continuing Education credits. Registration fee is $35 for those seeking Continuing Education Credits.

Splendid Violas are unique in that they spread up to one foot in diameter. Color choices include white, yellow or a blue and yellow mix. This viola variety adds a splash of color to flower beds or in hanging baskets. Tips foi^-keeping your pansies and violas happy and healthy: • Choose plants that are not too “leggy” and that have dark green leaves. Make sure that the roots are not bound. Yellow leaves may be a sign of root rot. • Make sure the soil is moist and cool. If you find the soil to be too dry, put a couple of inches of organic mulch around the plants. This will keep in a little extra water and keep weeds from sprouting. • Plant when the soil temperature is between 45 and 65 degrees. Warmer initial soil temperature can make the plants more susceptible to frost later on. • Deadhead. Removing old blooms will keep your garden looking neat and encourage new blooms. teed ?f l& ofamik and turn Right ditto 1/3 miles to a Left onto Whiting Rda$L the Left.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo'Jan Clatterhuck Right on! There was all that talk, all those meetings, and the continuous arm-twisting by the developer’s local mouthpieces. But in the end, the Culpeper County Planning Commission made the right decision on the Centex Homes’ application for the massive development at Clevenger’s Comer. They unanimously denied it and recommended that the Board of Supervisors follow suit. And for all the right reasons. Proponents’ claims that Clevenger’s Comer represented Culpeper’s “village concept,” and their promise of a booming new retail/business center there fell flat in the face of the two greatest problems, which were hammered home again-and-again by the opposition: the project is too big, and it’s in the wrong place. The commissioners made it clear that the project didn’t fully comply with the county’s comprehensive plan, and that the impact of 774 new homes and nearly 400,000 square feet of retail space at Clevenger’s Comer would have been severe for the entire region. They were rightly concerned about the traffic problems in surrounding counties that would result, and so stated in their denial. We are glad that the Culpeper commissioners took this into account, and voted for the common good, instead of giving in to the promises—and pressure—of the developer. Root for home teams Everyone in the county must by now be aware that Rappahannock County High School has a varsity football team this season for the first time in its history. The enormity of the task before them can’t be overstated. There are no Little League football teams in the county. Two years ago, there was a freshmen football team. Last year, there was a junior varsity football team. To jump from one year of JV straight to varsity is a quantum leap into a much higher level of competition. RCHS entered varsity play in the middle of a twoyear scheduling cycle and had to accept any opponents they could find. They won’t have a full Bull Rim District schedule until next year. Last Saturday, more than 500 fans came out for the Panthers’ first-ever varsity home game on a day that threatened, and delivered, rain. Many of them came with the defending West Virginia state Class A champion Moorefield Yellow Jackets, but the home team was well represented. But we can do better, Rappahannock County. The next varsity football home game is homecoming on Oct. 30 against Moore Catholic High. Let’s see if we can’t get 1,000 or more fans in the stands. Yes, we know, everyone is busy. But it’s important to support our athletes by attending their games and matches—to show them that we care and that what they do matters, not only to their friends and families, but to the community as a whole. Not only does a crowd give them a morale boost, it provides positive reinforcement for their efforts and the gate receipts give some monetary support for all the athletic programs at the school. Letters ‘We hope you knew the Jerry Jenkins that we knew’ On Monday, Sept. 27, Jesse J. (Jerry) Jenkins departed Rappahannock for a better place. Many of you, as well as people from other parts of Virginia, met Jerry when summer was heavy with the fragrance of peaches or when you came to purchase apples from his orchard in the fall. We only knew Jerry for the last 19 of his 80 years, but we came to care for him and to love him. We wish more of you had known him, too. He had a gentle, kind way about him that invited you to stay and visit. His smile was sweet, and he had dancing eyes, as blue as the sky. Jerry was a well-respected member of the county and was much loved by his family and friends. It seems appropriate that his departure occurred during the apple-harvesting season. As a young man, Jerry worked for other fruit growers in Rappahannock County. Then, after returning from military service in World War II, he took advantage of agricultural classes offered under the G.I. Bill held locally at Washington High School. Jerry furthered his education by attending classes on horticulture and entomology at Graves Mountain Lodge, offered by Virginia Tech University and the Winchester Fruit Lab. There were also inorchard meetings every spring and summer. He was a quick and consistent student, which was evident when asked about the many varieties of peaches, pears, cherries, plums, apples and other fruit in his orchard. Many of the apple trees that he planted in the 1950s are still producing fruit today. Rappahannock is valued for its visual beauty, which surrounds us, and for its peaceful ness. But the greatest, richest asset we have are the people of Rappahannock, who are friendly and quick to offer their help. We hope you knew the Jerry Jenkins that we knew. If not, we hope you will come to know someone like him. In Rappahannock, you won’t have to look far. We will remember Jerry, sliding slowly around the bend in the road in his pickup truck, with a smile in our hearts. He will be greatly missed and remembered fondly by so many. Pat and Ann Watson Woodville President Bush is the most dangerous president... At times I actually felt sorry for President Bush during last week’s donate. He looked stressed and tired before it began, and Kerry skillfully kept him on the defensive. At times I have found Bush’s rhetoric persuasive, but not during the debate when his slogans and mantras seemed not only dishonest, but stale, overused and empty. Looking at those two men together, only Kerry looked presidential. President Bush is the most dangerous president of my lifetime, and I’ve lived through roughly 10 of them. So much of the structure of our government that is set up to help people has been dismantled, so many assaults have been made upon the environment and environmental protections, so much more power has shifted to corporations, and there are so many threats to individual freedom. So many constitutional provisions have also been undermined. Whenever I think of the abuses of our prisoners that were, and probably still are, taking place, I weep with shame. Bush is dangerous to the soul of democracy. And of course the Iraq war is a mess. Regardless of who wins, I do not see any good way out. It’s clear to me that the war has increased the number of terrorists and their supporters around the world. I would feel a lot safer in Kerry’s hands though I do not share his optimism that he can get many (or any?) other countries to help us in Iraq. But I do think Kerry would cooperate in the world of nations in a way that would help to restore us in the eyes of the world. I urge all Republicans— please ask yourselves honestly—do you truly believe four more years of President Bush is in your interest and your children’s interest, and would be good for our nation? Carla Theodore Woodville What ‘a vote for Kerry would mean’ In his debate with President Bush, Senator Kerry made it very clear that a vote for Kerry would mean the following: a war with North Korea and China in a very short time; an immediate draft of our boys; and the end of relations with Russia. All of this seems so very evident in his answers to President Bush in the debate. Jacquelyn Fox Sperryville ‘Bush has stretched our military dangerously thin’ In the upcoming presidential election, it is clear the most important issue is the ongoing war on terror, and more to the point, how it has been conducted by President Bush. Since Sept. 11, 2001, we have been locked in a struggle with radical Islamic fundamentalists, an enemy whose fanaticism by far dwarfs the zealotry of the Japanese and Germans during World War II. In this war, both President Bush and Vice President Cheney have argued that their leadership is indispensable to the survival of this country. This is nonsense. Like many Americans who were not political supporters of the president, I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt when he said Saddam Hussein’s Iraq was develop ing chemical, biological and nuclear weapons and was plotting with A1 Qaeda to attack this country. In the aftermath of the war, none of these things proved to be true and I was most disappointed with the administration’s “so what, we had bad intelligence and it doesn’t matter anyway” attitude. It is now obvious that both Bush and Cheney and their advisors had a hidden agenda when they ordered the invasion of Iraq. They believed they could ignore 2,000 years of history and culture and force Western style democracy upon the Arab world. This idea is insane and unworkable. Democracy cannot be forced upon an unwilling and indifferent population from the top down, yet Bush and Cheney continue to insist it will happen even when their commanders in the field now concede there are large parts of the country under the control of Islamic insurgents. Worse yet, Bush and Cheney have stretched our military dangerously thin, making it tough to meet a challenge from Iran or North Korea—two nations who undisputedly possess weapons of mass destruction. This administration has treated our active duty military personnel in a most shabby manner by forcing returning veterans to pay, for the first time ever, a fee for medical care, and by cutting $150 per month from the extra pay combat soldiers’ families receive, calling the expenditure “wasteful and unnecessary.” Why did so many soldiers’ families back here in the Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 40 YEARS AGO Oct. 8,1964 The fund drive of the Fauquier-Rappahannock chapter of the American Red Cross will be conducted throughout the month.

It is a sad day when civic groups in Mobile, Ala., have to raise money to buy special steel plating for their local National Guard unit’s Humvees after they were deployed to the war zone. Bush and Cheney love to make speeches praising the brave men and women who are fighting in Iraq, yet they conspicuously keep their distance from the more than 7,000 wounded soldiers of this conflict, many of whom have lost multiple limbs or have been seriously burned and face a lifetime of struggle in recovery and rehabilitation. I do not believe George W. Bush is a bad man, just the wrong man to lead this country. He told us there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq when there were none. He said the mission was accomplished, but the casualties keep coming. When it is pointed out how different his words are from reality, he implies that we should just have faith and take him at his word. No thanks, Mr. Bush, I’ll put my faith in Jesus, vote for John Kerry and remain skeptical of politicians who ask for nothing more than unquestioning silence from the American people.

___ _ _ ^i .f I VIVUVI I , twv-r To repeat: debates matter’ Over the past several weeks, your Crystal Ball has received several dozen e-mails from Bush supporters, chiding us for not declaring the election and certifying their strongly held view that President Bush was the inevitable winner. Now, to their regret and sadness, our friends on the right have their answer, and perhaps they can see why we wrote in mid-September that “we insist the election is not over yet, despite the impressive efforts of many to bring down the curtain six weeks early.” Yes, conservatives may well be correct that, in the end, Bush will win—but it wasn’t proven by the presidential face-off we all witnessed on Sept. 30. The first presidential debate has changed the calculus of 2004—at least temporarily—and so at this stage of an extremely competitive campaign, President Bush no longer appears to be the certain choice of voters on Nov. 2. Caution is in order, since this new reality can be transformed quickly by a different result in the second or third debate. In the first debate, President Bush’s unsteady performance sent some of his unsettled backers packing, and the challenger, Senator Kerry, welcomed them onto his campaign bus, having sold them for the moment on his alternative. In the Newsweek poll released Saturday, there was a stunning turnaround of campaign fortunes. Bush had led 49 percent ‘Don’t we deserve better leadership’ Americans are tough, industrious, inventive, friendly, understanding, forgiving, loyal, and trusting. These are qualities that have served us well, especially during World War II. By December 1944 the United States with its allies was within six months of winning the war in Europe and nine months from victory in the Pacific. Tbday the course of the Iraqi war is far from over and its outcome (a definitive victory, a democratic country, and a safer USA) is at best uncertain and probably not attainable. Could this result from an administration that prioritizes political advantage over effectively battling our enemies? I do not believe the decision to go to war was based on flawed intelligence, but rather part of a political agenda. I do not trust the war information that is coming from our government, especially when the President’s statements seem more and more like the Iraqi Information Minister during this war telling reporters that the Iraq Republican Guard was pushing the enemy into the sea as American tanks were rolling into Baghdad. Further, Afghanistan and Iraq are so dangerous that accurate independent reports from the media are rare and limited in scope. Do we really know how well our Commander in Chief is doing in leading us in this endeavor? He keeps reminding us he is doing well, that things are going well. His words spill out as if he is playing Scrabble— short and designed to score political points rather than tell the American people the truth. Do we need a CIC to remind us how well he is doing if things are going well? Won’t the events speak for themselves? Maybe they are: car bombings, kidnappings, beheadings, more than 1,000 U.S. soldiers killed and many times that number wounded. Do we really feel safer knowing that over $100 billion dollars have been spent on this project instead of putting it toward homeland security in our country? And now his campaign and Howdy Doody gang (Chaney, Hastert and Hatch) are hinting or stating outright that the terrorists want Kerry to win. Mr. President, please speak truthfully on the real issues confronting us, the economy, health care, the environment, what you have done to make us safer, how we are viewed in the world today, and what is really going on in Iraq and Afghanistan. Americans are tough, industrious, inventive, friendly, understanding, forgiving, loyal, and trusting. Don’t we deserve better leadership? Franklin L. Brosgol, M.D. Flint Hill Crystal Ball Larry Sabato to 43 percent in midSeptember; but in the three days after the debate, Kerry jumped to a 47 percent to 45 percent advantage. In other numerical words, Bush lost four points and Kerry gained the same—not a massive shift, but also no small change for this year of extreme polarization. The poll’s internals were eye.-opening. Men and women now narrowly favor Kerry, and the Democrat’s favorability ratings jumped sharply, to 52 percent positive and 40 percent negative. Bush’s numbers dropped to 49 percent favorable, 46 percent unfavorable, and his job approval rating was potentially deadly—46 percent approve, 48 percent disapprove. Unless President Bush’s job approval ratings soar solidly above 50 percent by Election Day, he will not win a second term; that much, history teaches without question. Concerning the first debate, the viewing public clearly felt Kerry won, by a margin of over 3-to-l. Yes, the media echo chamber effect massively exaggerated Kerry’s victory, expanding a 15 percent victory margin into a 40 percent margin. After all, when voters hear TV commentators say that Kerry won a hundred times, they defer to the supposedly superior wisdom of electronic experts. And indisputably, the media were anxious to make this contest more competitive for the final month. By 62 percent to 26 percent, viewers thought Kerry seemed more self confident and assured than the president. Overall, in advance of the debate, people had expected Bush to win easily and Kerry to do poorly. Exactly the opposite happened, and many people on both sides of this contest were slack-jawed as a result. Should Bush lose the election, Sept. 30 will be remembered as a key turning point: a night when Bush could have put Kerry away and instead produced perhaps the worst debate performance in his career. It wasn’t so much a failure of Bush’s travel-tested arguments, but rather his un-presidential slouching onto the podium, and his eye-glazing, overrepetition of the same hackneyed phrases. Also, let’s not forget those odd facial expressions during the cutaways. Now we see why the Bush team wanted them banned. Finally, the expectations game, which had always favored Bush since his was consistently “misunderestimated,” backfired. For once, Bush was expected to win the debate by pundits and voters alike, and his inability to do so was magnified by that favorable expectation. The Newsweek poll is just one survey, of course, and other polls may show somewhat different debate results—and almost certainly, there will be wildly disparate Bush v. Kerry horserace findings. But there is no question that Bush is now behind the debate eight-ball. The President simply must win, at least on points, one of the remaining debates, or he will lose so much momentum to Kerry that the challenger’s current lead may harden. Bush has the unenviable task of doing reasonably well in two remaining debates where the odds are stacked against him. The town hall meeting on Oct. 8 in St. Louis is not Bush's cup of tea. Furthermore, even •the Bush inner circle acknowledges that the town hall format could easily produce a mugging of the President; most of the tough average citizen questions will certainly be directed at Bush, not Kerry—even if the selection of the average citizens has been fair and no citizen has deceived the Gallup interrogators (which we doubt). It’s in the nature of the presidential job, one of the only disadvantages of incumbency. Voters will target the occupant of the White House for any deficiencies they see. Kerry merely has to sit back, sympathize, arid feel the pain of the complainants. The final debate, on Oct. 13 in Arizona, has a focus on domestic policies. Again, any Democrat would have a big edge, because ever since the New Deal and the Great Society, Democrats have been seen as more caring on the big issues of health care, education, the environment, and so on. Thus, Kerry is well positioned for a debate sweep. Bush must prevent this if he is to stabilize his campaign. Maybe the President will surprise us and beat those nasty expectations, just as Kerry did in the first debate. Bush has two new advantages as he attempts to stop Kerry. First, the Kerry campaign can no longer credibly claim that the senator is not a substantial favorite to do better in the debates; thus, the expectations game once again favors Bush if the president can muster a decent showing. Second, on the morning of Oct. 8, before the St. Louis debate, the last significant jobs report before the election will be released in Washington. If the numbers are encouraging, they could create a booster rocket for Bush that evening, giving the president good news to brag , about, i Of course, if the numbers are disappointing. Kerry takes possession of the rocket, i Perhaps Bush’s best strategy for the final debates is to become much more aggressive, pressing Kerry' hard on his liberal positions and alleged flipflops. Similarly, Bush's best hope—though the odds are against it—is for a Kerry gaffe. <And the senator can certainly make them: “I actually voted for the $87 billion before I voted against it") One thing’s for sure: President Bush had better come into his remaining encounters determined to do much better than he did last Thursday if he plans to have another four years in the White House. The Bush campaign, according to some reports, had been suffering from smug overconfidence. Well, there's one ailment that’s been cured How did history do? Several weeks ago, we outlined six lessons that history' taught about presidential debates. Let s briefly review them and see how many applied to the Sept. 30 debate. 'This is John Kerry's greatest opportunity, as it is for every' challenger to a presidential incumbent. Sure enough, this w'as Kerry's shining moment, and it may or may not change the outcome. But everyone will remember Kerry’s victory in the first debate, and he may well have passed that critical presidential threshold then. There are no teleprompters, so there will be unscripted surprises, and these moments are often the ones remembered by the voters and history. The moderator, Jim Lehrer, asked no surprising questions, and there were no memorable oneliners. Already, viewers have a hard time remembering any specific phrase or sentence from the debate. Had Presiden Bush been able to come up with one. he might have reversed the popular judgment that he lost. Debates do have an effect on some undecided voters and persuadable voters. At least some early polls are proving our point here. Winning a debate has consequences, and so does losing. Yet the finality of this is uncertain. Should Kerry sweep the debates, tho’igh. he will be on track to win the White House. At least as important is the effect on partisans. Just look al the Democratic crowds and their reactions to Kerry in the days following the debates. There is an electricity that was almost totally absent in the pnor week. Interviewee after interviewee has said some version of the following on television: “I had been losing hope, but now I'm charged up and ready for victory!” Every moment counts. Someone should have reminde< President Bush about his father looking at his watch in 1992—or he should have remembered Gore's sighs in 2000. What goes around, comes around, and now Bush has to live forever with those famous surly cutaways. The news media spin can strongly influence voters, especially if there is a consensus winner and loser. Along with the 1976 "free Poland” debate that so badly hurt President Ford, the first 2004 debate will go down in history as one of the best examples of influential media spin—Bush supporters would say overkill. Bush has taken a massive beating in the press, probably worse than his sub-par performance actually deserved. But then, so did Gore in 2000. As unfair as politics is, there’s a rough justice in our system over time.

Centex temporarily denied by planners By Don Audette Special to the Rappahannock News The Culpeper County Planning Commission has voted unanimously to recommend that the Centex Homes’ application for the Clevenger’s Comer development be denied on five counts. The matter has been forwarded to the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors for action sometime over the next few months. One of the denial points is of interest to Rappahannock County residents, especially to commuters using Route 211. At a public hearing held by the Planning Commission on Sept. 29 at the Culpeper County Middle School, Centex Homes fielded its entire team for minipresentations on the application for rezoning 1,754 acres for 774 houses and 398,000 square feet of commercial development at the intersection of Routes 211 and 229. They covered the recent public forums, environmental issues, village design, traffic, water availability, water and sewer facilities, a marketing study, fiscal impact analysis and proffers. The Planning Commission was not impressed. They had heard it all before. They wanted a “village.” They were not getting a “village.” Planning Commissioner Sanford Reaves, Jr., described it best by an analogy: if his wife wanted a onecaret diamond, a continuous series of fancy ribbons and boxes will not disguise the fact she is always getting a halfcaret diamond. Out of an audience of some 60 people, 16 spoke during the public comment period—13 against the Centex application, three for it. In a discussion among the Planning Commissioners after the public comment period had closed, several members went toe-to-toe with Centex Homes project manager Steve Plescow. Commissioner Ian Phillips, Jr, finally made the motion, which was seconded, for recommending denial, citing the following reasons: • The application has not proven to further public necessity or good zoning practice. • The application is not in full compliance with the Culpeper County Comprehensive Plan. • The application fails to mitigate the impacts of the rezoning through adequate proffers. • The applicant has other reasonable uses available under the current zoning of the property. • The application unreasonably impacts the surrounding area. This point had been expanded upon by a Planning Director memorandum to the Planning Commission dated Sept. 27. Here it stated the following: “The rezoning generates the need for up to four new traffic signals and has a negative impact upon transportation levels of service even after proffered road improvements are implemented. Impacts are mitigated to some degree immediately adjacent to the site, but traffic impacts elsewhere in the county and in adjoining jurisdictions remain a concern.” The term “adjoining jurisdiction” includes Rappahannock County. Natural Market celebrates 15 years of health By George Rowand Rappahannock News Staff Writer A decade and a half in one’s own business is something to celebrate, and that’s what the Natural Market Place in Old Town Warrenton is doing this month. “If you look down Main Street, there are very few businesses that are still there after 15 years,” said Shelly Leyrer, owner of the store.

The RCHS JV team lost, two games to none. On the first playoff hole, the par-five ninth, Dodson shot a five to Ramsey’s six to win the trophy as the 2004 “most outstanding golfer of the year” for the Bull Run District. “Jacob was mentally ready for the playoff,” RCHS cocoach Lee Felts said. “He loves pressure. He’s a pitcher in baseball, so he’s used to it.” Senior Ben Hahn, who shot a 91, also qualified for the Region B tournament. Junior Alex Sharp shot a 92., missing the cutoff for regionals by a stroke. “I had no doubt in my mind Jacob could win the whole thing if he took it seriously," Felts said. “We had a meeting before the match and I think I got through to him.” The tournament was scheduled for Sept. 28, but was delayed a day by rain from Hurricane Jeanne. The start the next day was delayed an hour because the Shenandoah River was up on the fairway. “I’m proud of how everybody played under these conditions,” Felts said. “It was hard to keep the ball on the fairway, there was water standing everywhere and you just couldn’t get a good lie." Felts said the sand traps were full of water and the kids still ended up playing around the river flowing on parts of the fairway. “Playing with water affects club selection,” Felts said. “There were high scores all around because of the water.” The coaches met before the tournament to modify Virginia High School golf rules for the conditions. “Most of the course was a hazard,” Felts said. As a team, the Panthers finished fourth, with a score of 366. Strasburg .repeated as district team champions with a 343. George Mason finished second with 351 and Clarke County was third with 362. Madison County finished fifth with a 389 and Manassas Park had a 430. “Our kids played effectively and aggressively." Felts said “Coach (Dam Lewis an I are proud that the team came together finally. It just took a long time for all the kids to get their heads in the game on the same day.” Felts said he knew that Ben and Jacob both knew what to expect and what to do at regional. This is the second year in row that Jacob and Ben have gone to regionals. “If they keep their heads in the game and have a positive attitude, I know they can go to state,” Felts said.

RCHS lost to West Virginia's Moorefield, 34-14. Panthers stung in home opener By Kevin Seabrooke Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County High School played the first varsity home football game in its 45year history last Saturday and had a pretty good turnout, in spite of the rain showers. The defending Class A West Virginia state champion Moorefield Yellow Jackets put on a football clinic, defeating the Panthers, 34-14, in front of about 600 fans. “Their team may not be perfect,” RCHS coach Kemp Pullin said. “But nine out of 10 times they will execute perfectly.” The Yellow Jackets scored on their first two possessions to lead 14-0 with 3:35 left in the first quarter. “Our defense is still struggling,” Pullin said. “I’d be more upbeat if I saw progress.” The Yellowjackets, who led 28-0 at the half, racked up over 300 yards in the game, with more than 200 of them on the ground. “You don’t have to run trick plays on us, or even throw the ball,” Pullin said. “You just have to run it.” Running back Nick Compton, usually the Panthers main ground gainer, was targeted by the Yellow Jacket defense and held to 11 yards on 12 carries, with two fumbles. “I don’t know if they did,” Compton said. “But I know I got smacked around a whole lot.” In the fourth quarter, trailing 34-0, the Panthers finally got on the scoreboard to make a little school history. After recovering a Yellow Jacket fumble, Panther quarterback Ethan Berry hit Paige Payne for 36 yards down the right sideline. Berry scrambled around the left side for 29 yards on the next play. After losing a yard on a handoff up the middle, Berry dropped back and hit Payne with a high pass into the right comer of the end zone. “Berry’s quick on his feet and he plays his heart out,” Pullin said. Payne, who scored the firstever touchdown in an RCHS home varsity game, echoed Berry’s sentiment. “It’s a tough first year,” Payne said. “It kind of feels bad that the only way we can score is against the third string, but it’s kind of cool to score the first touchdown in the first home game ever.” After the Panthers blocked only the second Yellowjacket punt of the day. Berry hit Dustin White for a 39-yard score, with 4:52 left in the game. “Fans are thrilled to see us score, but our guys are inexperienced, not unintelligent," Pullin said. ‘They knew they were playing the second string most of the second half. Still, it’s a moral boost for the guys.” White said he didn’t like to lose and didn’t want the team to get used to it, though five games in, the season is already starting to feel long. "What they call their third string, wre call our first,” White said. “We pick the best of what we’ve got. It’s our first varsity year. I’ve only been playing football for two years. These guys have been playing their whole lives. I'Jot taking anything away from them, they’re a really good team.” Coach Pullm said, “Coach Powell is a class act. I have no doubt he could have beat us 60-0.” Rappahannock News Photo Ann Spieker DISTRICT CHAMP: Junior Jacob Dodson hits a shot on his way to the individual title at the Bull Run District golf tournament at Virginia National on Sept. 29.

He resided in the Briar Branch neighborhood, where his parents ran a country store and his father drove the area children to Salem in a bus not like that of today, but in a flat bed two ton truck. He will be sorely missed.

Supervisors From Page A1 six-year road plan. Before the meeting, Rappahannock County Administrator John McCarthy outlined the basics of the work session and the process of reviewing the road plan. McCarthy said VDOT brings a list of roads they think need work to the October meeting and^the supervisors bring their lists. The purpose of the work session is to get a list to go to the public with in our November meeting, McCarthy said. “Then a vote is taken at the December meeting.” Cubbage told the supervisors Monday that his department had no new projects for the sixyear secondary road plan for the county and that the list was essentially the same as last year’s. Cubbage noted that the bridge on Route 645, Tapps Ford Road, was not included on the list, but would come out of VDOT’s regional maintenance funds. Because the abutments and approach for the bridge are in good shape, only bridge itself will be replaced. If you want to add anything, we can discuss it, Cubbage said. “Everything basically moves up on the list. Our focus now is on major structures and bridges.” Chairman Charles K. “Pete” Estes had the only addition, a petition he read from landowners along Route 653, Sycamore Ridge Road, requesting that improvements be made to their road. Cubbage said VDOT has been using a process in other counties and wants to implement it for Rappahannock. We want to develop a list of roads that are unpaved/’ Cubbage said. “And then pave the roads that people want paved.” Cubbage said VDOT would look into Supervisor Roger Welch’s question on whether the needed resurfacing of the steep south end of Grimsley Road where it connects to Ben Venue Road would come out of the county’s money or the VDOT maintenance fund. Supervisor Lee also passed on a request from citizens that VDOT look into maintaining the old Route 211 roadbed. “They don’t want it paved, just maintained,” Lee said. McCarthy pointed out that the state hadn’t maintained that section of road in more than 20 years. In a phone interview, McCarthy said that people were still using the road and that more houses had been built off of it. “If there are more than three residences on a road,” the state will maintain it McCarthy said. Other actions Other actions by the Board of Supervisors Monday included the unanimous approval of some $283,000 in supplemental appropriations for the Rappahannock County School Board and the special exception permit for the Copper Fox Distillery to be established on Water Street in Spenyville on the site of the old Rappahannock Fruit and Produce Company. Applicant Rick Wasmund said after the meeting that the current tenant in the building had a lease through the end of the year and that his distillery operation would be set up sometime in 2005. Virginians feel ready for emergencies Survey shows they are not as prepared as they think The majority of Virginians feel they are prepared for an emergency that would require them to live without power or water service, according to a poll conducted for the Virginia Department of Emergency Management. If there were an emergency right now, 78 percent said they could survive up to seven days without power or water service with the.supplies they already have gathered in their homes. In addition. 71 percent felt they know almost everything they need to know about preparing for such an emergency. Hurricane Isabel was a hard lesson for many,” said Michael Cline, state coordinator for the Virginia Department of Emergency Management. “But it seems from this survey that people now realize how important it is to be prepared.” In contrast, the poll found that 34 percent of Virginians do not prepare for disaster conditions unless severe weather is headed for their area. “Terrorist attacks and earthquakes don’t show up in weather forecasts,” said Cline. “People need to prepare for unexpected emergencies as well.” The survey results also show that people may not be as prepared as they might think. Survey respondents indicated that they have basic items such as bottled water and canned food, and some had flashlights and batteries, but little else. Only a few Virginians indicated that they have other necessary items that should be in an emergency supply kit such as: a battery-powered radio, change of clothing, first aid kit and sanitation supplies like toilet paper and soap. The questions were asked as part of the Commonwealth Poll. More than 800 residents took part in the survey, conducted by Virginia Commonwealth University’s Center for Public Policy, between Aug. 24 and Sept. 2. The telephone survey has a margin of error of plus or minus four percent. For information about how to more effectively prepare for an emergency, visit www.vaemergency.com.

Traffic From Page A1 carry more traffic. Further on, there may be a traffic light at U. S. 211 and Leeds Manor Road (Route 688) in Fauquier County. Vehicles on U.S. 211 In 2003, some 17,000 vehicles used U.S. 211 each day between Clevenger’s Corner and Warrenton. That number could increase by 28,000 vehicles per day through normal growth by the year 2020. But with full-scale development at Clevenger’s Corner, that number of vehicles could rise to around 45,000 per day. For comparison, traffic through Gainesville now is more than 55,000 vehicles per day. Two escape routes will be excluded because they involve ancient bridges. Route 645, with its one-lane bridge over Tapp’s Ford at the Rappahannock-Fauquier county line, is temporarily closed pending the construction of a replacement one-lane bridge of a similar design. Waterloo Bridge on Route 622 (Jeffersonton/Old Bridge Road) on the CulpeperFauquier county line will likely be closed. Built in 1879, this one-lane bridge will probably be converted into a pedestrian walkway. A flyover? A bridge at Clevenger’s Corner, though, might offer a solution. Coming up the hill heading west from the bridge at the Rappahannock River, one might see a flyover, with a ramp rising from the median Graphics by John Tole strip and arcing over U.S. 211 to sweep down onto Route 229 But traffic would then have to run the gauntlet of four traffic lights expected between U.S. 211 and Route 621 by 2020. A flyover would relieve congestion at Clevenger’s Corner, although U.S. 211 through-traffic would still have to make its way by the traffic lights at Clevenger’s Corner. According to John Egertson, planning director Sidney From Page A1 muscle movements. The suit consists of a vest, shorts, knee pads and specially adapted shoes with hooks and large rubber bands that help tell the body how it is supposed to move. “To us the suit feels like it weighs a thousand pounds,” said Shelly Dodson, “but to kids with cerebral palsy, it helps them feel their muscles so they are more aware of what their body is doing.” While in Poland, Sidney spent four hours a day, six days a week, in intensive therapy. She worked diligently on all her exercises there, and brought that motivation back home with her. “She knows now to focus on her head and upper body control,” said her mother. “She’s really anxious to go back to Poland because she knows what she is capable of accomplishing. I really think this therapy could change her life.” Returning to Poland The family is unsure when they will return for more therapy, but hopes that it will be soon enough to continue Sidney’s progress. In the meantime, Shelly Dodson brought back some arm splints and made sandbags to use as weights so that she, her husband and Sidney can work together at home and mimic the exercises she learned in Poland. “I feel so lucky to be her mom,” Shelly Dodson said. “She’s taught me so much about myself and about life.” Two weeks after she gOt\ home, Sidney started school at Rappahannock County elementary. She even gets to ride the bus. The county was able to get a lift on a regular school bus to take Sidney to and from school. With her love of animals, dinosaurs in particular, and her tomboy attitude, Sidney is a lot like most other five-year oldchildren. She loves to get dirty, and her soft-spoken demeanor gives a hint of the little girl within. Her fierce determination to walk on her own is what separates her from her peers. Every day she tells her mother, “I’m going to walk Mom,” and her mother’s answer is always a hearty, “I know you are baby. I know.” Sidney has her own web site: www.sidneydodson.org, where visitors can enjoy photos and news about Sidney’s progress, as well as read what friends and family have to say about her unflagging spirit. The site is also set up to accept donations to help send Sidney back to Poland. A video of her therapy in Poland can be seen at the Oct. 910 Sunnyside Farms Harvest Moon Fall Festival in Sperryville. for Culpeper County, a flyover is not favored by Culpeper County, as it is not in keeping with the village concept desired at Clevenger’s Comer. Rappahannock County resident Don Audette has been providing his expertise on transportation issues to the county for several years. He conducted numerous interviews with planning officials and VDOT and studied data in preparation of this article. Towers From Page A1 Two remaining towers are not up yet. One is an 80-foot “monopine” tower disguised as a tree, destined for a spot along Route 522 south of Flint Hill, and the other is a silo on Route 211 near Washington. Mathews said rock has delayed the installation of the power lines to the monopine tower near Flint Hill. “That tower should be up and running by late October or early November,” Matthews said. “We’re going to run it with a generator until the direct power lines are installed.” Rappahannock County Administrator John McCarthy said the remaining tower, a silo on the Miller property, “is still waiting on FCC approval because of a stream on the site.” Matthews of Sprint said he thinks it could be next year before it is approved. McCarthy said that Sprint told him they would call a week before the towers are turned on to allow the county to get the word out that they'll be operational. McCarthy had not received a call at press time. “We’re just a cog in a giant media wheel,” McCarthy said. “They’re dealing with several subcontractors and as soon as they give a date, something comes up and there’s another delay.” Weather a factor Weather has been a factor, delaying shipment of the giant poles. “The fake tree that is to go up on Welch Slope near Flint Hill was in Louisiana awaiting shipment when Hurricane Ivan hit,” McCarthy said. “Obviously, Ivan damage recovery is a bigger priority.” Sprint has told McCarthy that they would not wait for FCC approval on the seventh tower to begin testing the system. Sprint is the prime carrier on the towers. “They may have agreements with some other companies,” McCarthy said. “Obviously, any phone can use the towers, but you’d get roaming charges.” McCarthy said that most of the towers don’t have the facility to put up more than one antenna. “The silos don’t have room for more than one,” McCarthy said. Matthews said Verizon and Sprint could be sharing some lines, but had no details. . ■■ J , N\ . f^iv . ai^-''*•«> ;: \f*% '.?

• Church News/B2 • Obituaries/B5 • Classifieds/B6-B10 October 7, 2004 www.timescommunity.com Photos by Bruce Jones FERN SPRINGS FARM: An original two-room log farmhouse, with two modern additions, is the home of Helen and Emerson Williams of Castleton. BUNKHOUSE: An old shed, formerly a veterinarian’s office, is now a bunkhouse for the couple’s 12 grandchildren. TREASURES: Blue and white pottery from all over the world occupies an oak library table in the dining room. Fern Springs Farm is the last stop on the 48th Annual Dried Flower Sale and House Tour on Oct. 16 and 17. The house still nestles beneath the enormous oak tree, and its simple style is a tribute to the strength and values of Rappahannock County, both long ago, and today. By Helen Williams Special to the Rappahannock News Tb experience an example of the plain and simple style of country living in the nineteenth century, visit Fern Springs Farm, the last stop on the 48th Annual Dried Flower Sale and House Tour on Oct. 16 and 17. The farm began as a simple two-room log cabin, built under the shade of an enormous oak tree. The farmhouse is reminiscent of the rural stories told of families who survived on their own wit and enjoyed the simple pleasures of life in the country. Two additions have made it more appropriate for modem life, and it is now the home of Emerson and Helen Williams. The home now sits on the edge of 55 acres which have been intact as a holding for over 100 years, and is currently being considered for a conservation easement. The land itself had for many years been held in the names of old Rappahannock fami lies such as Kinsey, Peyton, and Embrey. A wide-roofed porch shades the 10-inch thick doorway leading to two rooms of the first floor, displaying the log cabin structure. These two rooms have wide hand cut unfinished ceiling joists, small deep set windows and an interior wood wall. The living room, separated by the staircase to the upper floor, features two Tudor style corner cupboards filled with Waterford crystal, along with many etchings and paintings. Collections of pewter and blue and white china encircle the room. The old kitchen, now a sort of study, is part of the original house. Baskets hang from the old beams and books are stacked almost floor to ceiling. It is difficult to imagine that, in this small area, all the cooking, eating, storing and living of an entire family took place. Upstairs are the two bedrooms. The steps are fitted between the joists, and lined with books. Both rooms show the steep pitch of the tin roof. An old English chest and an old American cedar chest are in the large bedroom, where photographs line the walls. The small bedroom, just right for visiting grandchildren, serves as a sewing center, and the window looks out to the hay bam and the hills beyond. The dining room downstairs is part of an addition built in 1963. It is a large, light-filled room, with views westward to the fields. Paintings by Rappahannock artists Robin Purnell, Tanya Richey, Geneva Welch, and Martin Woodard, fill the wall space. One wall features more etchings by Luigi Casimir, an artist who worked between the wars, mostly in Europe. There is also a large brass rubbing, done by Helen Williams in 1965 in England. See FERN SPRINGS, Page B2 A man of many meads By Bkiar S. Bogin Rappahannock News Staff Writer John Hallberg and his unique Smokehouse Winery in Sperryville will host the fifth annual Harvest Festival OctT 9-10 from noon until 6 p.m. Nestled in the Blue Ridge foothills, the winery also includes a bed and breakfast option in a mid-19th century cabin that was once the original smokehouse on the property. The winery’s tasting room—where the festival will be held— is reminiscent of an old log cabin. Its comfortable atmosphere and Hallberg’s laid-back style make visitors feel immediately at home. “We are a meadery,” he offered. “We produce the oldest fermented beverage known to man.” The upcoming festival will help Hallberg celebrate his fifth year in business and will feature traditional mead, braggot—an ale-like mead— and hard cider on tap. “Maybe even a surprise or two,” he said. “Well have a tent and two or three music acts,” added Hallberg. “It will be a great time to come hang out and enjoy or play a little music.” Hallberg’s winery specializes in the cellaring and production of traditional and non-traditional meads (honeywines), historic beverages and seasonal hard ciders. “We are dedicated to the production of old world, classic European regional and historical libations,” said Hallberg. “We strive to use the ancient techniques of yesteryear to produce quality meads and refreshments, which have a unique place in today's world.” Festival attendees will also have the opportunity to see Hallberg’s unique dulcimer collection. More than 15 of these small, violin-shaped instruments, hang from the tasting room walls. Most of them are from the 1970s, but Hallberg boasts a few from the 1940s. “I don’t know of any other dulcimer museum out there,” chuckled Hallberg, “so it only seemed fitting to dedicate mine as such. Besides, so many people know me as the mead man, maybe now they’ll call me the dulcimer man too.” Hallberg himself plays the dulcimer, so festival-goers may be treated to a unique performance.

Artist Robin Purnell to speak about art in society 66 What we need is more slow art, that doesn’t get its message across in 10 seconds, that hooks onto something deep-running in our natures. Robert Hughes Art critic 'Self Portrait,’ a pastel on paper, is a self-portrait done 10 years ago by Robin Purnell who is wearing her favorite sweater, which was purchased in Zagreb back when Yugoslavia was still a unified country. The drawing is for sale. By Sali.ie Morgan Special to the Rappahannock News Artist Robin Purnell is dedicated to and very passionate about preserving the craft of painting. “My reason for existing is to create beautiful, moving objects that will give something to mankind,” she says. On Friday, Oct. 8 at 8 p.m., as part of the Second Friday at the Library Series sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC), Purnell will use slides of her work and those of other artists to explore the questions, what constitutes beauty, what separates good from “bad” art, what purpose does art serve in our society? Purnell also will share examples of what she describes as the emptiness of much contemporary art, work that relies on shock tactics, or work that is so detached it doesn’t communicate anything of value. She agrees with art critic Robert Hughes who commented that, “There has been a tragic depreciation in the traditional skills of painting and drawing, the nuts and bolts of the profession. We have had a gutful of fast art and fast food. What we need is more slow art, that doesn’t get its message across in 10 seconds, that hooks onto something deep-running in our natures.” In her own experience as a developing artist, Purnell found that her college professors bent over backwards to avoid imposing any particular style on their students, and as a result placed little emphasis on the study of classical painting traditions. Purnell recalls one professor stating that there was absolutely no reason to study any art history before Picasso.

Fern Springs From Page B1 A walnut Pennsylvania gate leg table, and an oak library table—both from the 19th century—are interesting pieces, inherited from family in Pennsylvania. The kitchen/breakfast room is part of an addition built in 1990. It is filled with books, ceramic pieces, a collection of needle work and other interesting artifacts. A large oak hutch with etched glass doors, built in 1896, is from Helen Williams’s home in Philadelphia. The size and airiness of the room is in contrast to the original part of the home. The 1990 addition also included a master bedroom, which is enlivened by a collection of black and white etchings of places the Williams’s have lived or visited. Outside, the gardens are simple and old fashioned. One farm shed has been made into a bunkhouse for the couples’ 12 grandchildren, complete with bunks, ladders, and a loft. Stone walls, split rail fences, and old fashioned garden ornaments complete the farm scene, which includes the ferns and springs which gave the farm its name. The house still nestles beneath the enormous oak tree, and its simple style is a tribute to the strength and values of Rappahannock County, both long ago, and today. Smokehouse From Page B1 “I haven’t found anyone else in the area who plays this instrument,” he sighed. “I’d love to know if there is someone nearby who could play along with me.” Other local artists on the schedule are Heather Jinmaku and Eric Freeman. Of the festival, Hallberg said “it’s not r really like work, but like hanging out with friends and having fun.” Past visitors have mentioned to Hallberg that his winery makes them feel transported to an old English tavern or similarly friendly old-world spot. “I enjoy when people discover that this is an amazing, unique place in a very eclectic and special county,” he said. As host, Hallberg strives to remain accessible during all of his events to talk with patrons and ensure everyone has a good time. He also noted his interest in meeting people from different backgrounds. His is unique as well. Hallberg stared out after college in the neuro-psycholog} field. He then moved on to work in several East Coast breweries, all the while nursing a dream of opening his own meadery. “Then I found this property,” said Hallberg, “and it had all these perfect outbuildings. I knew it was the right place.” For more information, visit the winery’s web site at www.smokehousewinery.com. Purnell From Page B1 Solounias, however, turned her around and convinced her that a foundation in classical art training was an absolute necessity. After many years of personal study, Purnell’s success in both mastering the craft of painting and in finding her own unique style is reflected in the comments of artist Richard Dana of the Central Asian Cultural Exchange: “When I experience the artwork of Robin Purnell I am always struck by how few contemporary artists can paint with a technical mastery rivaling the great painters of the Renaissance and how Robin is one of those few. Yet her work is totally contemporary in look and It’s hard to sell a painting you love, but it is also one of the most satisfying moments of my artistic life when someone really enters into the life of one of my paintings. Robin Purnell artist content as it speaks to its viewers, often with a wry surrealistic smile.” Purnell often incorporates surrealism in her paintings because it allows her to work from her inner life and bring a dream-like quality her work. Purnell has lived and 2B worked in Liberia, Russia, Austria and Kazakhstan, as well as her home base in Rappahannock County. She has exhibited her work in all of those locations, and in 2002 was honored to be ope of 300 artists out of 12,000 works submitted for inclusion in an international exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, England. This year two of her paintings are on loan to the “Art in Embassies” program, and will hang in the Ambassador’s residence in Slovenia. “It’s hard to sell a painting you love,” says Purnell, “but it is also one of the most satisfying moments of my artistic life when someone really enters into the life of one of my paintings.” This summer Purnell received an amazing email from a German man who had bought one of Purnell's paintings in Brussels in 1992. “I love that painting so much,” he said. “I have been trying to find you for 12 years!” He finally located her through the Rappahannock County library’s web site, where some of her paintings are posted.

Helping others, even in the smallest amount, is another way showing appreciation that we were bom in this land of plenty. In Matthew 19:21, our Lord commanded, “If you would be ' perfect, go, sell what you possess ; and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven...” Though we would probably not have to sell our possessions, when we give, we Instantly receive the ■ gift of warmth and establish the kind of spiritual eqiilibrium that comes from putting others first.

Dealing with compliance issues Local group formed to help businesses By George Rowann Rappahannock News Staff Writer Let’s suppose you want to open a new business. You find a place, hire staff, get some loans and you’re in business. Then let’s say that your business is a success. You expand, and hire more people and, almost before you know it, you have a problem you don’t know how to handle. There are federal laws and regulations regarding employees and their benefits, and you have neither time nor patience to get up to speed on all of them — you’re too busy running a business. Unfortunately, the feds have time to find you. And that’s when your problems really start. According to Caren Taylor Pressley, a lot of local companies are out of compliance with federal regulations through no fault of their own, “and the way you find you’re out of compliance is you get sued,” she said. Pressley is one of four associates who have decided to address this issue by starting a local chapter of the Society of Human Resource Management, an organization devoted to keeping its members ahead of the curve in compliance issues. The other three associates, — all located in Warrenton — are Audrey Allen, president of Allen Resources Company; Becky Fitzwater, financial services representative for Met Life Financial Services; and Nicole Western, benefits manager for Command Technologies.

Business people need this “The laws regarding compliance issues change every year,” Allen said. “The only way you can get this information without joining the organization, you need to fly out to Phoenix to take a two-day seminar, and most businesses can’t afford that.” “Being a part of a chapter gives you the tools you need,” Western stated. “You need constant training, and being in a smaller community, you don’t have access to that training.” “Whoever is the HR person in a business should join, definitely,” Allen said. “Consultants, 401(k) reps, insurance people ... they should be in this.” Response to the idea has been good so far. “In one hour of a business day, we sent out an e-mail to see who wanted to join, and we currently have 20 people signed up,” Pressley said. “We need 25 to make a chapter.” (Editor’s note: Pressley later said that 27 members had joined as of Oct. 4, so the chapter is official.) To join the volunteer organization, one has to join the national organization first and then the local chapter. “The SHRM has a tremendous amount of resources available,” Allen said. “Any company with four employees or 500 employees, it’s going to help. Larger companies have compliance lawyers, but in a smaller company, your CEO relies on you to make decisions, and SHRM will help you W.C.

Thompson, Mortician & Notary Serving the Piedmont area for over 40 years with that. “A lot of companies don’t know that they need help,” Pressley said. She gave an example: "If you have 20 or more employees, you are subject to COBRA compliance, and there are certain notifications required for new and terminating employees, and a lot of companies aren’t aware of this. The dues for joining the national organization are $160 a year. Dues for the local chapter are $60 until Oct. 22, $75 after that. The organizers of the local chapter said SHRM provides many valuable tools and activities. “There are training seminars, information on the Web site that is invaluable, a monthly magazine ... you can even call a person (at the* national organization) and say, ‘Help!’ ” Allen said. Pressley said that — considering the alternatives — joining SHRM is something that can benefit all companies, even the smaller ones. “It’s the best preventative care possible to protect a company from liability,” she said. Those interested in joining the local chapter of SHRM should call Caren Taylor Pressley at (540) 347-4304 or e-mail her at caren@taylorpressley.com.

Find your new home With the Rappahannock News -675-3349 lappahannock News Jn&moiij am Umpiring TfiaugfitA by Randy Minter CHANGING CUSTOMS The Museum for Sepulchral Culture opened in Kessel, Germany in 1951 with the purpose of raising public awareness of grieving rituals and encouraging people to talk about death-related issues. Its exhibits range from the traditional, such as coffins that date back four centuries, to the more controversial. Among the latter is an exhibition of coffins shaped like fish and a luxury automobile. As eccentric as these coffins appear to be, they actually draw their inspiration from the burial people of the Ga people, a major ethnic group in Ghana. According to Ga tradition, caskets should be made to reflect objects that played a particular role in the deceased’s life. As such, objects may range from churches to golf bags. We are here to make funeral planning easier at a difficult time. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, we have years of experience meeting the needs of families in this community. For a tour, call 347-3431. Bright View Cemetery, just outside Warrenton, offers monuments and memorials for all cemeteries. "Death is the peak of a life-wave, and so is birth.

By JASON STEIN WHEELBASE COMMUNICATIONS all it athletic. Call it ^^>4 versatile. But please, m 'BMW respectfully asks, I just don’t call the new something it’s not. The German automaker has never been one to travel the path of the common automaker. which is why, in a sport-utility segment that’s bursting at the seams, BMW is offering its very own interpretation of what buyers really want in all-weather transportation. For 2004, it’s something called the X3. And, in this case, X marks the spot for sport/activity. In an automotive world domi naieu oy uuiuanan vehicles labeled either cute, sporty, or cute and sporty, leave it to an industry leader such as BMW to want to define itself based on what its vehicles do and not what they look like. Of course, this is not unfamiliar turf. When it was first rolled out, the larger X5 was always a ‘sport activity vehicle', BMW claimed. No matter what pigeon BMWX3 . Hi rf our-door wagon r 2.5-liter or optional 3.0-War inline si*- i <■ Cylinder engines, producing 184 horse* power and 225 horsepower, respectivek Six-speed manual or optional five- ' speed Steptronic automatic transmission. r BMW borrows a little from its X5 sport/activity vehicle and a little from its fit 3 Series sedan to create the best of ;; both worlds for drivers interested in a I scaled-back X5 that still has a soul. £ ★ One option on the X3 stands out: adaptive headlights. The two bi-xenon headlights swivel in response to steering angle and speed for better vision on winding roads. ★ With the look of a BMW inside and out, and enough cargo rodm to compete with the larger X5, BMW stays practical and still shows it can have some fun. ★ Standard safety: Anti-lock four-wheel disc brakes; dual front airbags; sideimpact airbags; front and rear headprotecting airbags; traction control. ★ MPG (city/hwy): N/A ★ Base price: $29,500 (est.) hole people would try to stuff it into, the X5 is a luxury ride that's successful because it led fhp u/n\/ in rlpln/pnno many things to many people: the performance of a sedan; a ride height that sat above the crowd; a rugged look and all-weather capability. Due out in February, the new X3 is the product of a similar line of thinking, even if it is a bit smaller and relies on a different platform than the X5. In simple terms, the X3 is based on the 3 Series cars, the most popular in BMW's lineup. Therefore, the X3 has a low center of gravity, plenty of technology and the kind of styling you would come to expect from something with a BMW emblem affixed to the grille. The X3 has 3.4 more inches of overall length and wheelbase than the 3 Series wagon, but is about four-inches shorter than the X5 and has one-inch Jess wheelbase. One thing is certain. From any angle, it has to be called traditional. Styling is typically BMW, the same approach used by designer Chris Bangle in the remake of the 5- and 7-Series. The front resembles the look of an X5, while from the side there will be no mistaking the X3 as anything other than a BMW. Two versions of the X3 — based on engine size — will be offered. The 2.5i has a 2.5-liter, 184-horsepower inline-six cylinder engine. The 3.0i comes with a 225-horsepower six-cylinder. Both will be available with a six-speed manual gearbox Steptronic automatic transmission that allows the driver to manually shift through the gears without the need for a clutch And because it's a BMW, you know it has to be loaded k down with tech\ nology. For ^ example, the X3 features xDrjve. an all-wheelilrive 'iV'iteTii pithat's so good, according to BMW. it will reroute power to any wheel, usually before any grip is lost. The system also works with a standard traction control and Hill Descent Control, w hich keeps the X3 from freight-training down steep inclines. BMW also says the X3 will offer the same handling and agility as a 3 Senes sedan, which would immediately place it ahead of just about anything else on or off the road. Among its optional features will be a two-piece panorama roof that covers most of the X3’s top. As well, you’ll be able to specify a sports package that offers a stiffer suspension, bigger wheels and heavily bolstered seats. A navigation screen that pops out of the top of the dash is optional. Pricing is expected to begin at $29,500. For that kind of money, defining its demographic should be easy, even if the X3 itself escapes simple definition and categorization. All you really need concern yourself with is that it’s a practical vehicle that offers the benefits of the X5 in a smaller 3 Series package. Versatile. Athletic. Sporty. But, please, just don’t call it a sport-utility vehicle.
